Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving in
by Roger Fisher, William Ury

It's a must-read

This was a required book for my MBA class but I am so glad I read it. It's a must-read for everyone.

Had read part of it before, but wanted to finish it. Glad I did!

Excellent for business or government dealings, but other books from these authors and this group are better for family and personal matters.

Also, I recommend the second edition as it has an added section that is very helpful.

Classic. Still useful.

Before reading this book, which is over 20 years old, I opted to read some recent negotiation papers. They suggested this reading. I' m amazed that these ideas are still appropriate in negotiations! These professors paved the way to negotiatie in a amicable terms. I wish all people on earth had their culture, so that personal, social and business life would run on moral and conciliatory terms.

Must Have!

I have never known who Roger Fisher was until I bought his book. At first I was a little skeptical about the book, after all, any Tom, Dick and Harry, Sally and Mary could write of his or her ideas of what a successful bargaining/negotiating is all about. When the book finally arrived, I was so dumbfounded of his excellent credentials, and the ideas from which this book was derived. Eventually I bought some of his latter books and there's no way I will trade off the books with anything.
